Vaidev, Wesley and Oscar shared a sum of money. The amount received by Wesley was ⁴₅ the amount of money received by Oscar. After Vaidev had given $53 to Wesley and $29 to Oscar, Wesley gave $5 to Oscar. In the end, 3 of them had the same amount of money. Find the difference between the amount of money that Vaidev and Wesley had at first.

	Vaidev	Wesley	Oscar
Before	4 u + 130	4 u	5 u
Change 1	- 53	+ 53
Change 2	- 29		+ 29
Change 3		- 5	+ 5
After	4 u + 48	4 u + 48	5 u + 34

Amount that Wesley had in the end = 4 u + 48 

Amount that Oscar had in the end = 5 u + 34

Amount that Vaidev had at first 
= 4 u + 48 + 53 + 29
= 4 u + 130

Amount that Wesley and Oscar had in the end is the same.

4 u + 48 = 5 u + 34
5 u - 4 u = 48 - 34

1 u = 14

Amount that Vaidev and Wesley had in the end is the same.

Amount that Vaidev had in the end
= 4 u + 48
= 4 x 14 + 48
= 56 + 48
= $104

Amount that Vaidev had at first
= 104 + 53 + 29
= $186

Difference in the amounts between Vaidev and Wesley at first
= 186 - 56
= $130

Answer(s): $130
